Chris,
We have been working diligently on the project history for these parcels of land and believe that we have a good
understanding of its permitting and development history. Note that before we submitted the PCN application, we did
review the NCDWR files and thought that we had a good understanding of the permitting history. Below I have provided
a timeline and referenced Nationwide Permit verifications issued, important documents and exhibits that should assist
in your review of this Nationwide Permit request.
1995:
AID 1994-04978-Sweetwater-Commercial, Residential and Golf Course -Issued to Solaris Development Corporation
This verification authorized NWP 26 to impact 4.94 acres (3.84 ac fill & 1.1 ac excavated of headwaters and Isolated
waters), NWP 14 to impact 1.78 acres, NWP 18 to impact 0.1 acre, and NWP 12 to impact 9.33 acre (excavation and site
restoration). Per a April 19, 2000 letter from Michael Stewart of Stewart -Proctor, no authorized impacts took place and
the tract was subdivided into 2 tracts of land (see attached). Additionally, Google Earth imaging indicates that no
disturbance took place before 1999.
2002:
SAW-2002-20830-Winston Pointe Gravity Sanitary Sewer -Issued to M.A.L. Properties, LLC
This verification authorized NWP 12 to impact 0.569 acres of temporary impacts to jurisdictional waters. To our
knowledge, this utility line was constructed.
2013:
SAW-2013-01279- Winston Pointe Mixed Development- Issued to Central Carolina Reality
This verification authorized NWP 29 to impact 0.036 acres of wetland and 140 LF (280 SF) of stream associated with
three road crossings. To our knowledge, two of the three road crossings were constructed (i.e. Impact A and B) totaling
0.023 acres of wetland and 140 LF/280 SF of stream. Impact Area C was not constructed.
Other project information that we have concluded is that there was a road impact that we believe was constructed
in/around 2002, this crossing is up in the NE corner of the original Phase 1 (see attached aerial Google Earth photos and
Overall Map with notes). This presumed impact was to a wetland area per the jurisdictional determination and riparian
buffer determinations in that area. There is no permitting record for this crossing, but we believe it would have been
under the 0.10 acre NWP thresholds requiring notification in 2002. Early JD maps indicate that this is a wetland area
beyond the identified buffered stream. And finally, per the attached Approved Winston Pointe Master Plan, at Phase 3
the linear wetland feature was avoided by curving the road out to the east, see Foxtail Ct near amenity center.
In summary, we have provided a map exhibit with notes that identifies areas that have been previously
permitted/constructed, please see Winston Pointe OVERALL MAP with impacts listed.

INCOMPLETE - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Good Morning, Camden:
Thank you for the above referenced request to utilize Nationwide Permit 29 to construct Phase 10 of the Winston Pointe
subdivision. At this time, the application is incomplete and we will require additional information to begin review. S&EC
and/or Stewart Proctor have been involved in permitting this development since the early 1990s. The development was
formerly known as 'Sweetwater' and in the early 2000's became known as Winston Pointe.
USACE Action ID SAW-1994-04978 (S&EC) authorized the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 26 to impact 4.94
acres, NWP 14 to impact 1.78 acres, NWP 18 to impact 0.1 acre, and NWP 12 to impact 9.33 acre.
USACE Action ID SAW-2002-20830 (S&EC) authorized the use of NWP 12 to impact .569 acre
USACE Action ID SAW-2013-01279 (Stewart Proctor) authorized the use of NWP 29 to impact 0.036 acre and 140
linear feet of stream.
I have attached several associated project maps to illustrate project connectivity/overlap.
The project status, and what (if any) impacts have occurred are unclear. Please review your files and prepare a complete
project history for our consideration as we review this recent request.

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890
May 5, 1995
Action ID No. 199404978, Nationwide Permit No. 12 (Utility Line Backfill and
Bedding), Nationwide Permit No. 14 (Road Crossing), Nationwide Permit No. 18
(Minor Discharges), and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwater and Isolated
Waters)
Mr. Charles Winston
Solaris Development Corporation
1 Copley Parkway, Suite 310
Morrisville, North Carolina 21560
Dear Mr. Winston:
Reference your application of March 30, 1995, for Department of the Army
(DA) authorization to impact a total of 16.15 acres of jurisdictional wetlands
for your proposed commercial and residential development and golf course
(Sweetwater), on your approximately 900 acre tract of land located on the
north and south sides of S.R. 1550 (Winston Road), approximately 1 mile east
of S.R. 1525 (Cornwallis Road), approximately 4 miles west of Clayton,
Johnston County, North Carolina. The site is adjacent and above the
headwaters of several unnamed tributaries to White Oak Creek and adjacent to,
and below the headwaters of White Oak Creek.
Reference is also made to the telephone conversation of April 28, 1995,
between your agent, Mr. Kevin Martin with Soil & Envircnmental Consultants,
Incorporated, and Mrs. Jean B. Manuele of my Raleigh Field Office staff
regarding your permit application and conceptual wetland mitigation. During
this conversation, Mr. Martin was informed that we are willing to provide
nationwide permit authorization for the work provided the present, conceptual
mitigation plan is implemented. However, the permit will be conditioned to
require that a final mitigation plan is submitted and approved by the Corps
prior to any construction activities occurring within jurisdictional waters of
the United States. This final plan must include, at a minimum, a list of the
plant species to be utilized in the areas of proposed wetland enhancement,
proposed vegetative success criteria (e.g. 75% areal coverage), the
approximate dates of proposed mitigation construction, as -built plans, and a
mcni:oring plan with reporting procedures.
Your permit application indicated that the proposed project will involve
filling 3.84 acres and the excavation of 1.1 acres of headwaters and isolated
waters, 1.78 acres of fill in wetlands for minor road construction, 0.1 acre
of fill in wetlands associated with minor discharges and 9.33 acres of
excavation and site restoration in jurisdictional waters of the United States
associated with the construction of utility lines.
For the purposes of -Che corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters. Authorization
was also provided for the discharge of material for backfill or bedding for
Printed on G Recycled Paper

-2-
utility lines, including outfall and intake structures, provided there is no
change in pre -construction contours. Pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and
Harbors Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, authorization was provided
for fills for roads crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands
and other special aquatic sites) provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United states is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
C. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer (DE) in accordance with the "Notification"
general condition.
Authorization was also provided for discharges of dredged or fill
material into all waters of the United States provided:
a. The discharge does not exceed 25 cubic yards;
b. The discharge will not cause the loss of more than 1/10 acre of a
special aquatic site, including wetlands. For the purposes of this nationwide
permit, the acreage limitation includes the filled area plus special aquatic
sites that are adversely affected by flooding and special aquatic sites that
are drained so that they would no longer be a water of the United States as a
result of the project.
Your proposed work is authorized by this nationwide permit, provided it
is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and the
following special mitigation conditions:
The conceptual mitigation plan as described in Mr. Martin's letter of
March 30, 1995, will be implemented in its entirety. A final mitigation plan,
elaborating upon this conceptual document, must be submitted and approved by
the Corps prior to any construction activities occurring within jurisdictional.
waters of the United States. The final plan must include, at a minimum, a list
of the plant species to be utilized in the areas of proposed wetland
enhancement, the approximate dates of mitigation construction activities
(e.g., grading, planting, etc.), proposed vegetative success criteria (e.g.

-3-
76% aerial coverage for herbaceous vegetation), as -built plans, and a
monitoring plan with reporting procedures. The required mitigation
construction must be accomplished concurrently with the authorized work to
provide for planting of all mitigation sites within the first available
planting season (November through March) after site construction begins.
In addition to the above authorization, you must receive a Section 401 water
quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM). You should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919) 733-
1786, regarding water quality certification. This nationwide permit does not
relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local
approval.
This verification will be valid until the nationwide permits are
modified, reissued or revoked, which will occur prior to January 21, 1997. It
is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to'the nationwide permits,
which will be announced by public notice when they occur. If you commence, or
are under contract to commence, this activity before the date the nationwide
permits are modified or revoked, you will have twelve months from the date of
the modification or revocation to complete the activity under the present
terms and conditions of these nationwide permits.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mrs. Jean B. Manuele, Raleighil
